My deepest condolences to Darla’s family and loved ones.
Darla was a sweet soul – a person of lightness and warmth.
A great loss to the community.
Friendship,smiles laughter,hugs…….Definition of knowing Darla!
This just breaks my heart. Darla worked for me at Catholic Community Services as a caregiver. Her loving, kind heart enabled her to work with some of the more challenging clients because she had empathy for their circumstances. She could put a smile on anyone’s face and her positive outlook on everything was infectious. RIP Dara, you will truly be missed.
So sorry, I will miss her cheerful attitude…she was a special lady…
God bless, little cousin. You are missed!
My condolences to Darla’s family. She truly had a heart of gold. Time is so short on earth. Until we meet again.
The smile on her face when I would see her on the floor at work, walmart. I will always remember her and others I worked with there. Yes, until we meet again.
